Synopsis
A couple in crisis is not just a couple in crisis in Carlos Reygadas’ cinema. The Mexican director, from his brilliant egolatry, portrays the decline of his own family estate. The perversion of the gaze is a distinctive feature in the author of Battle in the Sky, that sharp gaze that becomes almost unbearable when we are aware that with his camera he draws a self-portrait, that what we see on the screen is a kind of confession as painful as it is provocative of his abusive way of understanding love. It may provoke rejection, but we must ask ourselves how much of ourselves we see in the mirror of their images. Presented worldwide at the Venice Film Festival 2018. Latin Horizons of the San Sebastian Festival.Martín Cuesta
